Normal Map Generator

 

This month's featured contribution is a small, and yet extremely useful tool created by MK_1: a normal map generator. Start the application, click "Load File", set the amount of details and the strength of the effect and then press the "Generate" button.

You can preview the result in the lower left window; the preview image will be affected by "Specular" and "Shininess" sliders. Press "Export" when you are happy with what you've got and add the normal map bitmap as the second skin of your model. Finally, use a normal mapping shader material and you're going to improve the looks of your models for sure.
